Discussion

Cold weather will close out the work week and the weekend will remain well-below normal for this time of year. In fact, record cold is possible early Saturday as temperatures overnight will plunge towards the 10 degree mark in most areas which can break some local records. February ends on Saturday and it will end up being one of the coldest February's ever in the area - Dulles Airport has had an amazing 9 mornings this month with single digit low temperature readings. As March begins on Sunday, a cold front will approach the Mid-Atlantic region. This front will likely generate a wintry mix in the region from later Sunday into early Monday. The 50's are likely for highs by the middle of next week, but it'll be accompanied by rainfall, perhaps heavy at times, and then another batch of Arctic air should return on Thursday.
